Fully close all of the door glass.
Manually open/close the sliding door.
When the sliding door is closed from just before it's fully closed condition (half-latch condition) to fully closed condition (full-latch condition), verify that the auto closure motor operation sound is heard, then a final click sound is heard.
Perform Steps 1 and 2, sliding door open/close operation, two or three times and verify that the sliding door opens/closes smoothly, the sliding door securely closes (full-latch condition), and the door-ajar warning light turns off.
If there is any abnormality in the open/close operation is not smooth, adjust the sliding door lock striker using the following procedure.
1. Loosen the sliding door lock striker securing bolts.
2. Adjust the position of the sliding door lock striker by tapping it using a rubber hammer.
  CAUTION: When tapping the sliding door lock striker using a rubber hammer, if it contacts the sliding door or the vehicle body, vehicle parts and the coating film may be damaged or dented.
